Sounds like Philbin is calling the shots here. Would love some CK input on this offense, look what they did with Foles, would be a terrific hire.

560 WQAM reporting that Gary Kubiak will be interviewed for the OC job.

against the grain
I'm not sure you want this guy. I've watched him for 4 years. While he can put together a decent game plan a fair amount of the time, he's prone to panic and abandon it so quickly that the players complained about it. He's known for bailing on a run game even when it's working and calling mostly pass plays when his team's behind. And he's pretty rigid and condescending with players.
But without his Dad there protecting him he may adjust and change, so there's that.

I mean getting her hired by the league offices in NY, that is supposedly where she really wants to be. It gets her out of Miami.

"Multiple NFL sources" tell the National Football Post's Jason Cole they would "advise anyone close to them" not to accept the Dolphins' general manager job.
Per Cole, the sources believe the Dolphins' power structure is "set up to fail." That's certainly hard to argue. Owner Stephen Ross has been coy on whom will have final say in his new front office, while pigeonholing a new general manager with an existing head coach almost never works. The Dolphins' owner since 2008, Ross has thus far proven incapable of getting his power structure right.

This makes me shake my head and wonder how these guys were able to be successful enough in another business to be able to afford to buy a football team. And it's not just Ross as there are plenty of other disfunctional franchises out there that have the similar issues.

Fritz Pollard Alliance advises minority candidates to pass on Dolphins jobPosted by Mike Florio on January 9, 2014, 6:51 PM EST

As the Miami Dolphins prepare to start the process of interviewing for the replacement to G.M. Jeff Ireland, the organization responsible for promoting minority hiring in football has a word of caution for its constituency: Don’t do it.
According to the Miami Herald, the Fritz Pollard Alliance recommends that minority candidates decline to interview for the General Manager position unless it will be a “real” G.M. position.
“If it’s just going to be a personnel guy, my opinion is our guys don’t need to be going in and taking those interviews, ” John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, told the Herald. “I don’t know if the new people [owner Stephen] Ross is interviewing are going to be true general managers.”
Wooten specifically is concerned that the next G.M. will essentially have the job that was offered to Ireland before he left the team — a position without ultimate authority.
“[You're] now going to have the same position that you’re offering Jeff Ireland?” Wooten said. “Then our guys need to stay where they are.”
While we agree that no candidates should interview for a job without full information about what the duties will be, the idea of rejecting a General Manager’s job because it amounts to what’s known in league circles as “G.M. Light” would be a mistake.
For most if not all of the candidates linked to the Miami job, “G.M. Light” would be a promotion. Basically, “G.M. Light” is better than no G.M. at all.
Under Wooten’s theory, minority candidates also should pass on the chance to become “G.M. Light” in Tampa, where coach Lovie Smith reportedly has control over the roster. Throughout the league, teams have General Managers and Vice Presidents of Player Personnel who don’t have final say over the roster. From the Patriots to the Steelers (sort of) to the Chiefs to the Eagles to the Saints to the Rams, plenty of General Managers don’t hold full and complete control.
If Wooten is going to apply that standard in Miami, then Wooten needs to apply that standard to every other team that uses a “G.M. Light.”
Regardless, the Dolphins have become the target. And if no minority candidates will interview for the job, the Dolphins won’t be able to comply with the Rooney Rule, which requires that at least one minority candidate be interviewed for every vacant coach and G.M. position.

This one is disturbing in my opinion. If I am while, black, red, yellow, or orange and I get an opportunity to interview for a position that is considered a promotion from my current position, I at least consider that opportunity. Who is this guy to advise people not to consider the job...simply because they are a minority? If you are a minority are you somehow too good to consider this job?
"Our guys dont need to be going in and taking those interviews." Seriously? Out of hand. Makes no sense at all.

The Dolphins GM job, as it appears right now, is a poor fit for all but the most desperate of people. If you're talented, if you're in line to get a GM job at some time in the future, you shouldn't take the Dolphins job because it'll probably just end up a black mark on your resume you'll have to explain later. Wait for a better situation where your success is dependent on you and your skills and not a faulty organizational structure. The Dolphins have to earn their way out of this bumbling reputation they're earned over the last several years, unfortunately. Maybe it makes sense for an up-and-coming GM to interview for the position, to show that they're talented enough to be considered but if it were my friend, I'd tell them they'd probably be better off waiting for the right opportunity too.

You know.....it all starts from the top. Yes....I talking about Steven Ross. While he may have all the best intentions and of course he wants to win and have a successful team, from the very start of his tenure as the Dolphins owner he has done nothing right.
Parcells set this team back 5 years. That's right 5 years. Taking Jake Long over Matt Ryan was the first of many awful decisions. A lot of us down here wanted the QB. I know I was saying to myself great your getting a a LT....to protect what QB? Parcells was being cute. Thinking he can turn another Michigan QB in Chad Henne into the next Tom Brady.
Drafting Pat White in the second round. Second round!!!
By year three of Parcells tenure he was out the back door in a nano second and Ross was left with a team without a vision or QB. When he goes out and try's to bring in Harbough while Sparano was coach another egg in the face moment. Also ton's of well documented lousy moves on and off the field, we don't have to go and recall all of the misery.
So here we are 5 years later and Ross let's go of Jeff Ireland, OC Mike Sherman, but hangs on to the top dog, the HC who is ultimately responsible for this teams failure. And he expects a top line GM to come in here and accept working with a coach he did not hire? Ross has really no clue what he is doing. He has 2,3,4 voices in his ear....he has no idea what he is doing to be frank. And he is not a spring chicken. IMO this team is sold within the next 2-3 years.
Dolphin fans.......buckle in for another season of misery under Joe Philbin who has proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt he himself is in way over his head. His team plays just like his personality. The guy did not have this team prepared the final two weeks, and to me the team looked like it could care less to play for him. That is the bottom line. This team quit on their coach and quit on themselves. Coaching is crucial in the NFL.
Top to bottom house cleaning. Ross needs to just do it and do it now and get in a new regime. I can pretty much assure you a new competent regime can get more out of Tannehill and co. Fix the OL and this team is a 10 win team easy (hell they should have won 10 this season with that dreck of an OL). Have a really stout draft and they can be a really good team. The NFL is a league where you can turn things around very fast.
But Ross needs to cut the fat. Understand this coaching staff was a failure. Just look at this teams season.....it was mind boggling. Clean house everywhere. Your marketing department, your PR department. Start fresh. Because the Fans are fed up and are not buying anything Ross is selling.
Not a thing.

If Miami were really smart which they aren't but if they were smart they would take a look at Marc Ross who is the VP of player evaluation and does most of the dirty work for Reece. He has been with them since May of 2007, he has some big names you can link him to in the draft, he's had success early and late in the draft as well. Don't think about 2013 as much but you can see the body of work in NY for the last 6-7 years including a couple of titles.
Marc Ross is being recruited behind the scenes right now by Jim Harbaugh in SF who is not happy with their current GM and wants more power or say before he extends his new deal. I think Miami would be smart to go after this guy.
I never heard what happened with Lazor from Philly, obviously they passed but then I heard they were interviewing a guy in Cleveland for the GM job and I wanted to throw up. Why would you look to one of the worst franchises in the league for your next move? That's terrible.
Now as I am writing this I am also seeing now that ESPN reporting that Marc Ross will indeed interview for the GM job down here. This would be a terrific hire.

And the search for the GM continues...
If you read reports out there, miami is interviewing something like 8-10 candidates. To an outside observer or someone who watches football lightly, this might seem like a sound decision but it shows me several things.
1. Miami has no idea what they want or desire. Even if they know, it shows that their ideas or way of doing things might not play well with potential candidates which leads me to #2.
2. Even the folks who want to advance in the NFL are going back to their current teams of employment and shaking their heads or laughing at us. It's gotten to a point where teams are telling other teams not to waste their time interviewing for Miami. Slap said something about a dumpster fire…it's spreading to the main house at this point.
3. Owner Stephen Ross is a complete buffoon and has little to no idea what his concept or vision is. Ross has no vision so therefore no one else can envision what he truly wants.
-Dawn Aponte has way too much influence, she is doing a large part of the interviewing along with Carl Peterson(Does he have an official title with the Dolphins org?) and i think that is sending the wrong message to potential hires. This is a total mess and to be frank with all of you as I have at points during the season, this is weighing to the point I don't feel like I belong with the Miami Dolphins much longer.
I'm not going to continue to support this team despite being born here, raised here, own a home here, it's not part of any contract that I can find that I MUST support the local team, in fact many do not here. Why should I pour my hard earned dollars into this mess when the owner is one of the 5 worst IMO and it's not because he won't spend money but that he is a total IDIOT when it comes to making football decisions, he has no clue what he is doing and neither do the inept MoFos around this #####. I'm sick of Ross and what he thinks the public down here will support. He has been more concerned with getting minority owners to buy little pieces of the company, more concerned with the nightclub in the end zone, and not concerned about the product on the field which in the end takes care of these other problems he is so caught up with.
I'm on the fence but this hiring process is not pointing to a new day or start but more of a funeral or the whole thing getting even worse. I never thought we would downgrade from Jeff Ireland but that possibility is there and it is starting to look more and more likely. You Phinsfans tell me where I'm wrong, tell me where I have been wrong at all over the past several years tearing the front office a new one even in the off season when so many fans are able to feel hope about the future. I don't feel that way right now about Miami.
Thanks for reading me ##### about things.

Wish you were wrong. You are not though.
I'm with you. Losing interest in this team. Been a fan since I was 5 years old and sent a letter to Bob Griese that he personally responded to with an autographed picture. I've moved from Florida since then, but remained a loyal, die hard fan, catching at least one game live every year, and spending way too much money of jerseys and team merchandise, including signed/framed Ronnie Brown and Chris Chambers jerseys...what a waste of money. Any Dolphins jersey that doesn't say Taylor or Thomas on the back for the last 15 years was a waste of money. That Brandon Marshall jersey that I raced out to get...great move.
I started to simmer after Bullygate, but the big win over Cinci, and the nice run in weeks 13-15 kind of brought me back. Reached a boil around the 3rd quarter of the Bills game. Boiled over in the second half of the Jets game, and have been kind of apathetic since. Kind of had enough. Brought 2 kids into this horrendous existence as a loyal Fins fan, and almost feel guilty about it. They wont even wear any of their Dolphins jerseys to school out of embarrassment. Its not fun. Its horrible. Every year. I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel either, which is a change. Usually I see hope, whether its real or just my own optimism. Been burned so many times by that hope, it seems to have faded away completely. Next year will be the same 'ol, same 'ol. I don't see why it will be any better. Rinse, repeat. Get a new QB, fire a coach, sign an overpriced free agent...its all a pattern. Even the great Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells failed here.
Team is a mess...its a joke around the NFL. Has been for a long time now. Why should we choose to be a part of the joke?
So much good posting by you and MOP (who have atleast been to Miami unlike me), but this is great. I keep wanting to buy a Dolphins jersey because all I've bought is Thomas and Ginn in the last 10 years. Problem is that the Ginn experience has left me too scared to buy another jersey for someone who will just be off the team in a few years. And I actually love the new aqua jerseys. That and the general disconnect you outlined beautifully following Bullygate. The damn Bengals win just pulled me back in.
I hear ya, i splurged on an authentic Marshall jersey about two months before he got traded. I was about to pull the trigger on a Hartline jersey before the second Bills game (was about 150 bucks for the jersey and shipping to Toronto) so I'd have something to wear for the playoffs which I assumed were a foregone conclusion
It's getting harder and harder to support this mess.

What does that say about Philbin that one of his co-workers won't work for him? Even for a promotion and raise? Yikes.

Ah, but you miss the brilliance of Miami's leadership structure. See, the coach nor the VP of football opperations reports to the GM. So they are free to go after an OC since the GM really has nothing to do with that decision.

We didn't agree on much in the Bullygate thread, but we have found common ground in this one. I live in DC so I am exposed to all of the negativity surrounding the Redskins. Having endured what I have endured as a Dolphins fan, I would trade it in a heartbeat for being a Redskins fan. Even right now, with the Skins in the sad state that they are in, if I could in good conscience just change allegiances overnight, I would. Being a Skins fan for the past 40 years would have been a joy in comparison, and my guess is that the next 10 will as well.

Just saw that we are hiring Bill Lazor (Eagles QB coach) as our OC. Did a fine job with Foles. Unfortunately for him, his career is likely about to go over a cliff.

It's worth noting that he was not the top candidate. We lost out on McAdoo from GB and I believe one or two others so again Miami is getting the table scraps that others don't want.

Not so sure it was bad to pass on McAdoo. As Packer fans, we've lost plenty of our assistant coaches to promotions on other teams over the years. The people that report on the team that I trust the most weren't all that high on him.
Sounds like Lazor has been a QB coach for much of his career. Could be very good for Tannehill.
I'm not a big fan of the OC who has never called plays route, but like this hire much more than Shanahan or McAdoo.

So, I have a buddy who is a Philly fan, and apparently their fan base is all jacked up over rumors that Dion Jordan is potentially being traded to the Eagles for some combination including Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry and the 22 overall.
Apparently, Jordan now does not fit our 4-3 defensive scheme...the same scheme we were clearly going to run when we drafted him.
What a joke we are if this has any validity. I mean, we are a joke anyway, but even more-so if this has legs. We are a joke for passing on Lane Johnson at 3, and trusting Martin, who completely torpedoed our season. Who the heck though that guy could play football in the CFL, nonetheless starting at the most critical OL position for an NFL franchise with a potential franchise QB?
Trade up to 3, and pass on Lane Johnson in favor of leaving Jonathan Martin at LT. Instead...draft a guy who was a luxury pick all along, and if the rumor mill is correct, does not fit our scheme. He barely got on the field, so there is smoke there. Then turn around and trade that player for a late first round pick and another team's garbage. We traded an early 1 and an early 2 to get up to 3 overall and draft Jordan. So in essence, trade the 9th overall (I think thats where we were before the trade to 3), the 45th overall (roughly) for the 22nd overall and a salami on rye a year later. Brilliant.
Of course, its just a rumor and we dont even have a GM so its probably bogus...but if you are a Dolphins fan you have to know that this kind of move fits the M.O. of this team.
Here is a link to the rumor from a Dolphins board. Apparently, its all over the Philly boards.

Been a Fin Fan since 1978, even though I was raised in Colorado. The last several years have been brutal and I've been slowly but surely losing interest in the team. I will always be a fan, but right now I'm just glad that I've got the Broncos to fall back on.
This was obviously the case. Philbin and his staff told Ross they wanted him. I don't know if Ireland had the power to keep them from getting their toy, but at least it didn't cost much to move up.

Lauren Tannehill left behind an AR-15 Assault Rifle that she and husband Ryan legally own, she left it in the back of a rental car. Not really much news in terms of football but I thought it was interesting.
Also we lost our LB coach to Minnesota where he will be the DC, can't blame him for wanting a promotion.

Dont let the door hit you in the derrière. If it does, it will hit him larder then our LBs hit anyone this year. Our Linebackers were a huge weakness for us this season. Shocking that someone wanted to hire our LB coach. Must have been a prior relationship there. No way it was on merit from 2013.

New reports surfacing that Dion Jordan is on the trade block for a late 1st. Can you believe it?
They say he doesn't fit in with the coaching scheme now. We traded a decent 2nd to move up to #3 to grab this guy and for what? Her looked good on the field but they never played him. I heard it was because of his handling of off field stuff and also the way he presented himself at One Davie Place day to day work week.
That would be another tough pill to swallow. Throw away the #1 overall pick in Jake Long…it looked like magic the first 2-3 seasons back in 2008.
Then in 2013 we manage the #3 overall pick and we are looking to get rid of him. Even if not true, these are the bad rumor mills you want to avoid.
In case you are wondering…Philly late 1st Chip Kelly ties to Oregon obviously.

I swear to god if they trade Jordan........I think I will adopt a new team. A completely out of control and clueless football team with not a clue of direction, focus or vision.
I pray this is not true as I think Jordan can be a massive beast for 10 years. But he does not fit the scheme? WTF are you drafting a guy at #3 overall if he does not fit your scheme? WTF is going on? Seriously......WTF is going on in Davie.
Ross is a baffoon.....being led by monkeys.

My gawd there are way too many people that have no business coaching and making decision at the NFL level.
Hopefully Miami's new GM does a good job at evaluating talent in the Senior Bowl this week. What? Miami doesn't have a GM yet?
I'm sure Ross is hard at work interviewing candidates and not hanging out in the UK....... http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2014/01/19/is-miami-dolphins-owner-stephen-ross-heading-to-london-and-china-during-gm-search/
